Abstract
A computerized system for prealtering garment pattern data based on standard or individual body measurements. The system comprises a body measurement acceptance subsystem for accepting standard or individual body measurements and a pattern acceptance subsystem for accepting garment pattern data. The pattern acceptance subsystem comprises a coordinate data subsystem for accepting coordinate data comprising points and lines depicting a garment and a garment description subsystem for accepting a description of the garment. The garment description subsystem comprises geometric constraint subsystem for accepting geometric constraints that specify limits on relationships among the points and lines that depict the garment and a garment measurement subsystem for accepting one or more measurement constraints that map the physical dimensions of the garment onto the points and lines and specify relationships between the physical dimensions of the garment and the standard or individual body measurements. The system further comprises a constraint satisfaction subsystem for producing prealtered pattern data by satisfying the geometric and measurement constraints through altering points and lines…
